Though his one and only brief scene as a background artist playing bored Tatooine kid Deak ultimately didn't appear in the original Star Wars back in 1977, popular film/TV American actor Jay Benedict was nonetheless a welcome, witty and personable presence at conventions around the world revealing behind the scenes information on his scene with Mark Hamill and company shot in April 1976 at Elstree Studios, which, for years, was never properly available on home entertainment to see. His passing, linked to the awful Coronavirus that has truly blighted the world, is very sad news indeed and he will be much missed- always a fine character actor in the projects he appeared. Star Wars Aficionado sends its condolences to his family and friends in this difficult time.
